Prevenge is Alice’s directorial debut, which she has also written and starred in whilst 7-8 months pregnant, and tells the story of a grieving woman on the hunt for everyone responsible for her partner’s death.

As we stated in our preview of the film back in October: “Prevenge is a film we can enthuse about. This is a piece of work that is, quite rightly, being hailed as part of a new wave of exciting filmmaking. A startling debut from an incredibly talented individual who has been lauded by an underground audience (that’s you lot) for over a decade, and is now finally stepping into the limelight, and hopefully the kudos and project offers that should have come her way after Sightseers made a superstar out of its incredible director.”

The film also features Jo Hartley (This is England), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones) and Leila Hoffman (How Not to Live Your Life), alongside TVO regulars Gemma Whelan, Mike Wozniak, Tom Davis, Dan Skinner, Kayvan Novak and Tom Meeten. You can see the first trailer below.
